4. Koskenkorva quick facts
The plant produces grain spirit, starch and animal feeds for Altia and its customers.
We use almost 200 million kg of Finnish barley annually: nearly 15% of barley harvest in Finland and more than 30% of saleable barley.
Versatile product range enables unique material efficiency.
Production in 3 uninterrupted shifts, plant operational 350 days/year
Personnel about 90
Grain spirit produced of Finnish barley is the raw material for Altia’s alcoholic beverages and Finlandia Vodka.
Starch produced for the paper and board industry as well as for the breweries and food industry
Animal feed generated as a valuable by-product

8. At the heart of barley
Finland’s largest single barley grain user and manufacturer of grain spirit
High quality Koskenkorva barley spirit is raw material for Altia’s own alcoholic beverages and for Finlandia Vodka.
Barley grain based products are marketed to Nordic and Baltic countries and to selected vodka-belt countries.
In the future, usage of barley will increase as Altia’s Rajamäki Plant will specialise in spirits and as starch binding agents produced of renewable raw materials substitute oil-based binding agents.
Exceptional grain traceability of Finnish barley

23. High quality starch to technical as well as food industry applications
The largest starch plant in the Nordic countries
The world’s only barley starch manufacturer
Altia is a minority shareholder of Chemigate Oy specialised in modifying native starch into customer-ready products.
Pro-active R & D to find new applications for barley starch to substitute oil-based raw materials
Barley starch is also used in beer
brewing.

24. Animal feed for Finnish farms
The Koskenkorva Plant produces a significant amount of valuable feed fractions used in farms. They are utilised in breeding of both cattle and pigs.
Liquid feed for pig farms are valuable feed components due to their high content of protein and/or carbohydrate since there is global shortage of vegetable proteins.
Dry feed is sold to cattle farms as a source of fibre.
Feed is mainly sold to farms in Southern Ostrobothnia, which minimises the carbon footprint of the product.
Barley comes from farms within 100 km. Feed is sold within 70-km radius.
